Are you even remotely around the Orange County area and looking for something to do this weekend? Well, never fear because OC Beer Blog is here with Firkfest this weekend on March 22nd from noon to 4pm at Anaheim’s Farmer’s Park. It’s been highly anticipated and the time has finally come to celebrate the beloved cask beers offered by the local craft beer aficionados.

Firkfest is going to be held at Anaheim’s Farmer’s Park, which is located off Anaheim Blvd and in between Santa Ana Street and Broadway, in the park area between Anaheim Brewery and the historic Sunkist Packinghouse. The location is beautiful and bring more beer to Anaheim, which is rapidly becoming the “beer mecca” for forward-thinking craft beer enthusiasts.

The event is $50 (cheaper if you use the promo code MOTHERCOLONY) and that includes unlimited cask beer pours, feeling good about yourself because you donated to charity, and the piece of mind you get from knowing it won’t be overcrowded because it’s a small and classy event with very limited tickets available. I have been personally assured that there will be copious amounts of water to combat the waves of delicious beers rolling into your mouth-hole, which puts me at ease since water is an important factor to my longevity at these types of events.

If all that wasn’t enough, the event is being hosted by my buddy, writer, beer-belly model, scandalous-joke-slinger, all-around good time guy Greg Nagel from OC Beer Blog. We have been friends for a while and words cannot express my love for this guy. I am beyond proud of him for pushing himself and making this event happen on top of all the other balls he is juggling. Let me tell you folks – the best beer events are thrown by experienced beer-event-attendees who have been to many, many beer events and have a deep love for craft beer and since I know Greg has both those qualities I am confident it will be an event that is worth attending. I present to you the many faces of Greg:
